Which is even already measured and documented. Patients with neurological diseases often require years to get a diagnosis. A few studies were published not so long ago, that early misdiagnosis is rampant in Parkinson's disease, MS and many other diseases with significant neurological symptoms...

So is the US general population in that age range. That's a weird thing to focus on. Plus as we know it's a high sugar diet that leads to obesity. This is far too artificial to relate to real life.

(Pre-print) The hypothalamus as a hub for putative SARS-CoV-2 brain infection https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.08.139329v1

Professor Frances Williams gave a presentation at the CMRC conference in 2018: From https://www.actionforme.org.uk/uploads/images/2018/12/CMRC-Conference-2018.pdf: It's about the most generic statement, though. People do get better from cancer as well, though few people feel the need to...

I can't help but always think of the celestial spheres. They were built out of the same principles: superficial observations and fabricating a plausible explanation that describes only the most superficial observations, as long as you don't mind that one planet that does a loop-back and the many...

The change in question was the lowering of the secondary-outcome-newly-promoted-to-primary-outcome SF-36 from 85 down to 60 as the threshold for recovery. The cutoff point to participate in PACE was SF-36 <65, so 13% of participants met the definition for recovery of SF-36 >=60 published in the...

Posttraumatic stress symptoms and associated comorbidity during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland: A population based study https://psyarxiv.com/mnbxf/ The recipe is as predictable as it's mediocre: 1) show there is "trauma" / mass hysteria from the epidemic 2) fabricate a link between trauma...

Now I'm no fancy city lawyer and maybe I don't know anything about anything but it sounds like reduced blood flow to the brain may not be optimal for health and performance. With being able to stand up being somewhat important to functioning and everything. Is that bad? It sounds bad. Lots of...

Then you're in luck! This is literally what the PACE authors recently published in their own journal (the board of this journal is basically the BPS folks responsible for most of the ME-BPS literature)...

Weak coverage in the Canadian press. No research done. 'Great medical mystery' as COVID-19 'long-haulers' complain of months-long symptoms https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/great-medical-mystery-as-covid-19-long-haulers-complain-of-months-long-symptoms-1.4981669 It's not all bad, they do...

I put unclear because it varies too much, but is still significantly more than normal at times. Though it feels more like my mind tripped on itself than a genuine startle reflex, like it just went through a surcharge of sorts.

That's one of the most frustrating things. If it "works" it proves the assumptions. If it doesn't work it doesn't disprove them. That's not a serious process. If one commits to a large trial they have to accept the conditions they set and if they set out to prove an assumption it goes both ways...

Weak. Very weak.

Oh there you go using their contradictory claims against them. How vexatious!

The quotation marks around "stress" are very weird. As if "we're saying that but don't quote us on it". What a cheap cop-out. Like Sharpe pretending he does not mean ME is psychological even though he literally does.

This is mathematically impossible. Unless they mean both arms, if there was an actual reduction, since there was no difference in the arms. So that invalidates the alleged effect of the CBT. And frankly there is way too much hand-waving over "standardized medical care". There is no such thing...

Excellent. A whopping .8% success rate! What do you have to lose? Better odds than the lottery! This thing is really revealing the clowns for what they are. And there are actual "professional skeptics" who will support this. Amazing. Let's be honest there is zero chance the assessment will be...

A good example of this would be someone locked in solitary confinement for an extended period of time. On average they would rate going outside to a small fenced courtyard for a few minutes as much more enjoyable than for someone who can do the same any time they want to. It would even be the...

Oh in PACE and all other trials they also claim to monitor harm and never do. Because they don't consider PEM or ME deterioration to be harm. That won't change.

That's a relief! Get well(ish) soon!
